The Artist's Husband: City Map?

While working on another project (stay tuned!), I came up with this. It’s not what I was shooting for, but I think it’s kind of interesting. It looks a bit like a city street map from a time before urban planning. What is going on here is that a single particle is placed on the canvas in a particular position and with a particular direction. At every iteration, the particle moves a small amount in its given direction. There is some random variation in the exact direction, but it ends up leaving a straight line, albeit a slightly wobbly one. Also at every iteration, there is a change that a new particle will be spawned and will branch off in a new direction, roughly 90 degrees from the previous particle’s path. A particles “dies” if its next position would leave the canvas or cross another line.
The Artist's Husband: Rust and Nannou

In my last post , I mentioned Nannou , a generative art framework for the Rust programming language. While I am focusing mainly on drawing here, Nannou goes much further dealing with user interface, audio and video, and even lasers ! Its goal is to provide tools for artists building any kind of art installation. For drawing, it is similar to Processing in how it is used, and therefore similar to all the other frameworks I’ve discussed here, which are all based on, or at least inspired by, Processing.

This is my first real new post since 2020. All the ones posted at the end of 2023 were written back in 2020, and have been backlogged while we dealt with personal issues. New year, new posts! In my previous posts, I’ve explored some basic generative art in a variety computer languages and art frameworks. We tried Javascript with p5.js , Clojure with Quil , and Java and Processing . I don’t have any post to document it, but in the past few years, I also experimented with Kotlin and Go for artwork.

In my previous post , we came up with a program to generate a single 8-armed component of the aah tangle. In this post, we’ll figure out how to spread them randomly around the canvas, as in the image at the top of the post. We’ll use the program from the last post as a starting point. As a first try, let’s just generate a draw 20 aah images randomly on the canvas. Our draw() function looks like this:
